Rochester Family Law

Rochester, or Rochester Hills is part of Oakland County, Michigan with residents that enjoy the benefits of an affluent lifestyle. Clientele with certain standards expect a high caliber of representation. You'll find that in Rochester. Family law firms specialize in certain areas that are designed to protect your interests in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, property division, spousal support, prenuptials and annulments at a bare minimum. Depending on your circumstances, these areas may be intertwined with other areas of law, and having a good family attorney to protect your interests is important.

A good law firm isn't just about the money, but the services they deliver. You want a credible, trusted team that has a track record for going above and beyond the norm. Good representation is standard; great representation is hard to find. Beyond the obvious, taking time to evaluate their services is key. How do they handle their clients? Are they well versed in state law? Check their availability and their work load. A busy law firm means they do excellent work, but will they be able to give you personalized attention?

Divorce issues may include child custody, child support, spousal support and property division negotiations. These are standard occurrences in the process and are very sensitive, time-consuming and emotional. Finding a firm that will understand your position and work on your behalf for fair and equitable treatment is a must, walking you through the entire process so no stone will be unturned. Divorce proceedings can get very messy, and the process of dealing with the other party should be left up to the professionals.

The right law firm will find the right mediation personnel and facilities, file all the necessary paperwork and be a sleuth when needed. In affluent cities like Rochester, ensuring the work is done to find all equitable assets could make a huge difference in settlements and support.

There are certain instances where marriages require prenuptial agreements. A good family law team can walk you through the process, making sure your assets are protected. There are other times when marriages do not work out and annulment proceedings are necessary. This is different from a divorce proceeding, and can be handled swiftly and efficiently unless there are other extenuating circumstances. This type of paperwork should be handled by someone who knows the laws of the state.

Paternity issues are more frequent than most people may think, and having a law firm that can be discreet in getting all the tests done and paperwork filed is a significant part of that parent establishing a solid relationship with their child. If paternity is established, a good firm will ensure all custody and support issues are taken care of in a fair manner, with not only the child's best interest in mind, but the parent as well.
